“Nic Salt” is a term short for Nicotine Salt, which is the type of nicotine found in it’s natural state within leaf tobacco. Their main advantage over normal E-Liquids are that they are arguably the best form of combustible cigarette replication – in short, they’re the closest hit you can get to a real cigarette.
Many vapers have the same issue – low nicotine levels don’t give them the same hit as a normal cigarette, and too much nicotine results in a very harsh throat hit. Nic Salts are the solution to this very problem. They are particularly ideal for people that are switching for the first time from smoking.
They can also be added to Shortfill E-Liquids as an alternative to Nic Shots, which results in less flavour dilution and even flavour enhancement. Browse our full range of Nic-Salts from the best brands including Moreish Puff, ZAP! Juice, Riot Squad, Just Juice, Supergood and many more.

In it’s simplest form; Nic Salts work in the same way as freebase nicotine E-liquids. They are E-liquid containing Nicotine which can be used in a variety of different vape kits. However, Nic salts are more suited to smaller, lower powered kits whereas freebase nicotine e-liquid is better for bigger, more powerful kits (you may have heard the term, sub-ohm).
Nic Salts have been proven to be far more successful in helping Smokers quit smoking and switch to vaping. This is because they provide a much smoother throat hit at higher nicotine strengths. Nic Salts are also absorbed into the bloodstream faster than Freebase nicotine, therefore providing a more cigarette-like hit.
If you’re looking to maximise flavour; go for a small, low wattage vape kit which has a coil of 0.8ohm or above. This will maximise coil lifespan and provide fantastic flavour output. You can view best vape kits for nic salts here.
Due to the rise in popularity of Elf Bars/Lost Marys and all disposables alike, this has been recognised by e-liquid manufacturers to create the same great flavour in a disposable, just in a 10ml bottle.
